Federal Regulations

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9 NIV

Undergoing a federal audit or monitoring is nothing to put lightly. I've done them for years now and no matter how much you think you know, there's always something to learn or to fix or to make better. One thing is for sure: the regulations are the end all, be all. What they say goes. Doesn't matter whether you read them online or print them out, they are always the same. You can count on them if you ever have a question about what you should or should not do. It doesn't mean they don't change, they do, but not often. When I'm asked a question, I ask a question in return: what do the regs say.

So upon reading this today, this verse was very satisfying to me as I thought about a physical description to liken God's steadfastness too. Our God IS God. He is. Not was. Not might be. He is. And he stands faithful throughout all generations.  He is always there, keeping his promises to those who love him. He is. He is faithful to forgive. He is. He can be counted on to never change.

God is the true end all, be all. Federal regs may come and go, but God stands forever.
